This restaurant is located inside The Seabird Hotel. We had breakfast here around 9am on a Monday and the only tables available were outside. It was a little chilly but that's fine. Our servers name was Monse I believe and she was excellent. We had mimosas, an americano, lobster thermidor with cheese grits, and the steak and eggs. Out of the two entrees my favorite was the lobster thermidor which was an egg scramble with chunks of lobster and cheese. The cheesy grits were also delicious. The steak was overcooked so it wasn't doing it for me. Overall I'd say the food is pretty good for being a hotel restaurant I would dine again. The only thing with sitting outside is we saw the occasional transient person threatening patrons. We all just ignored them but it would be nice if they had a little more privacy on the patio from the street. read more

Piper - Lobster thermidor, steak and eggs, mimosas, outside - New American Near Me - Oceanside, California

Piper changed its breakfast menu significantly by removing most of the items that had been on it in favor of a $55/ person buffet. What's left are a few à la carte selections that were more expensive and not prepared as well as they were when we went previously, which was a couple years ago. What's super annoying is that the menu change still isn't reflected online, so we had no idea until we sat down. The avocado toast was burnt, potatoes were flavorless and unevenly cooked, and the "poached" eggs were hard in the middle. Prices are higher, service is slow, and overall it just feels like a place that exists now purely to gouge tourists in Oceanside. We won't be going back. read more

We had a large group for dinner of 11 people and this restaurant really did not deliver in terms of service. We had to ask to even order entrees. The restaurant was not very busy as I saw some open tables. Our waiter really was the worst. He seemed inattentive and then borderline rude when we asked to order. We sat down and got our food 2 hours later. Then we sat around for another hour waiting for our dessert/coffees and finally the check. A total time of 3 hours for dinner and the restaurant itself was flashing lights to indicate it was closing. You would think that would mean they hurried to get us settled out. Nope, the employees were just talking to each other and starting to close down...and apparently forgot about us. Some of our party started to leave because it was way too long to wait. The food was overall fine. Some plates were good and some were lackluster. The decor was sophisticated and obviously going for an upscale vibe. The bill finally came after we asked multiple times and it totaled over $1,000 and it really was dissatisfying. I would recommend everyone take their business elsewhere. There are better spots to blow some cash. read more

We were staying at The Seabird and was able to eat at Piper twice. All the dishes not only tasted great, but the presentation was so pretty. We also enjoyed the lattes and matcha. The service was excellent and everyone so friendly. The restaurant itself was very pretty, love the colors! read more

I came with a group of my friends to celebrate a birthday. Loved that the restaurant isn't far from the amazing sunset views! I chose to have a mocktail to start, which was the Yuzu Berry Spritz. Very light and refreshing way to start a meal. The bread was nice and soft with butter, honey and salt that was accompanied with it. Before our mains came out, we had an amuse bouche. Not sure what was in it but it was pretty good! For my main, I had the seared seabass. It was beautifully plated on top of the broccolini and I enjoyed the artichoke potage accompaniment. I got to taste the lamb shank, with was fork tender! The New York steak was also perfectly cooked and well seasoned. For dessert, I chose the chocolate chip cookie, which was meh. I wasn't very impressed for a $5 dollar cookie. The server highly recommended this, so my expectations were a little high. Overall, service was pretty good and the staff was very accommodating to our large group. read more

Piper is the main breakfast restaurant for the Seabird and Mission Pacific resorts (it also serves lunch and dinner). Usually hotel restaurants in the US are subpar, but this one was filled with locals in addition to hotel guests. The presence of locals is always a good sign in a resort area. I only tried the breakfast menu, but I was very impressed and would definitely go for lunch and/or dinner. The only reason I didn't give it 5-stars was because of the prices. I know it's a resort, but $16 for a side of berries in Oceanside seems laughable. They also add a 6 percent fee on top of the bill in order to pay their employees (this is in addition to tip). The acai bowl at Piper was the best I've ever had. So good that I ordered it three times! The house-made hemp granola was fantastic and the acai was thick and not too sweet. I appreciated the ample sunflower butter and berries. The SD based fermented hot sauces were also a treat, and I enjoyed them on my savory items. The huevos rancheros was the best of the savory items I tried. I'm not generally a beef eater, but the brisket was fantastic. If you find yourself in Oceanside and want a fancy brekkie, this is definitely your spot! read more

We stayed across the street at mission pacific and came down for an afternoon pick me up after service at the roof top bar was so painful. We ordered deserts and coffee. The host was such a nice gentleman and so friendly. We sat at the bar and the bar tender was lovely. She was very sweet, attentive and brought everything swiftly. The cappuccino was great, came hot and a beautiful sprinkle of cinnamon on top. We ordered the chocolate cake which was good. Service and atmosphere was 5 stars. Giving 4 because the deserts were good and well done but flavor wasn't our favorite. read more

I reading many good reviews for Piper Restaurant at Seabird Resort in Oceanside, so I made a reservation before our stay there. For dinner, the staff greeted us nicely and made us feel welcome. The place is cozy and feels like home. Our server Sara was very good. She helped us choose our food. We started with Duck Liver Mousse. It was excellent and very tasty. For main dishes, the Brandt New York Steak was perfect. The Cioppino looked nice, but the taste was just okay. We came back the next day for breakfast. The Lobster Omelette and Crab Cake Benedict were both very good and delicious. The service was great, and most of the food was wonderful. I will come back again next time I stay at Seabird Resort. I definitely recommend this restaurant! My Personal Rating : 4.38 Food 4.3/5 Service 4.5/5 Price 4.1/5 Ambiance 4.5/5 Cleanliness 4.5/5 read more

Wonderful service and very comfortable and spacious tables and chairs but the food was a bit of a let down. With two kids the AYOE option was not the best for our party so we did the a la carte breakfast/brunch option. They had a kids menu so we were able to get oatmeal for the kids but it was a small bowl and while it was more than plenty for our two toddlers I'm not sure how it would have been sufficient for kids up to 10 or 12 years old. Similar story with many of the adult a la carte entrees. Another in my party got the adult portion of the oatmeal which came with peach compote and fruits and it also looked skimpy for the price. My summer scramble was also light on the scramble and house potatoes but the potatos were pretty good and perfectly cooked. read more

Very nice place, great service. Nice decor and comfortable. Would have given a five star, but our food arrived cold but the potatos were nice and warm. We didnt wait very long for it to arrve so not sure what happened there. Other than that, the food was actually really good. They offer breakfast buffet on rhe weeknds but we opted to order from the menu. I believe you could make reservations but we just showed up and were seated immediatley. read more

Food, service, vibes - Piper's got it! Came to celebrate a dear friend's birthday, and it was everyone's first time at Piper. The host was very accommodating to give us the best table in the house. Pro tip! - make a reservation for an early dinner to enjoy the beautiful sunset + get a pic of a table. Our server Tiana went above and beyond to make our evening special and tasty. Drinks and food were flowing, we had everything we need. Standouts were the ahi app and seabass main. Manager Mark was so hands on and made sure our group had a great birthday celebration. He was warm, welcoming, and ensured our meal was perfect. So impressed with the service here! Def 5 stars all around. read more

We loved our dinner here! I was a bit skeptical since it is a restaurant inside a hotel, but we had a wonderful time. Located in the SeaBird Resort in downtown Oceanside right across from the beach, Piper has that classy beachside aesthetic with light grey and sand wood colors. They have a nice outside area for drinks and lounging, but we ate inside. We had a reservation for a Saturday evening and when we arrived, we were sat right away. Our party of 4 started off with the Prager Bros bread & whipped butter with sea salt and the Grilled Peaches appetizer. The grilled peaches came with burrata cheese and I really liked the two flavors and consistencies together. A friend got the lobster & coconut soup, whipped smoked eggplant, and I had the house-made spaghetti and meatball. It was a beef meatball My other friend got the Steak frites which was grilled prime NY Steak with bone marrow, chimichurri and of course french fries. Also good. read more

Piper was such a standout dining experience. The food was genuinely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish felt thoughtful without being overly complicated. The staff were truly lovely. Service was polished, warm, and attentive from start to finish. We were even surprised with a complimentary hors d'oeuvre from the chef, which made the whole experience feel elevated and personal. The inside was also beautiful! Between the quality of the food, the attention to detail, and the outstanding service, Piper is absolutely worth a visit if you're in Oceanside. I'll definitely be returning. read more

We stayed at Seabird and went to Piper for both breakfast and dinner and we loved both. Since we stayed during the weekend, there was buffet for breakfast. The buffet has so many options and everything is so good! For dinner, we had the duck liver mousse with the beet salad and pasta. Everything was so good. Not only was the food great, but the service was excellent. The servers were so friendly. It does get very very even for breakfast so reservations are highly recommended! read more

Restaurant at the Hyatt Seabird with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Great for groups, special occasions and family friendly.

The food is great; you won't be disappointed. We ate breakfast and dinner here, and both occasions were consistent. There are a few options for vegetarians on the menu, but the menu is predominantly catered to meat-eaters. Breakfast has more options than dinner; dinner, however, had only one entree listed on the menu that didn't include meat. With that said, we had a pleasant time during both occasions. Their cocktails were delicious, although mine arrived after my entrée was served. The place wasn't busy; it was about 1/4 full at the time. Overall, it's a great place for date night, and a nice place to eat by the Pier. There aren't too many other places in the immediate area like this place. read more

We had breakfast here today, and liked it so much, we came back for lunch. The food is delicious, but what REALLY stands out is the high quality of staff. Both of servers (Juan and Jackson) were both amazing- definitely better than average. The fact that we had TWO GREAT experiences in one day doesn't seem to be a coincidence. When we had breakfast, there were no inside tables, so we ate outside. Juan brought us a heater- which was so nice. Everything we ate was absolutely delicious and served quickly. Our new favorite restaurant in Oceanside! Bravo to whoever manages this restaurant. Your efforts are evident. read more

Good spot for breakfast especially if you're staying in the hotel. Located in the lobby of The Seabird Ocean Resort and Spa. Buffet was the intial option but went with the Ala cart as i didn't have the stomach to indulge in the buffet, maybe next time! So I ordered the O'side over medium eggs, potatoes, bacon with toast. As simple and home-easy this can be they didn't screw with it. They did this basic breakfast solid by not adding any flair or surprises. Bacon was thick and crispy, my over medium the egg yolk was perfectly oozing out, the potatoes were actually my favorite thing as it was so crisp and crunchy yet the inside was fluffy as can be, toast was sourdough and again spot on. simple with brioche french toast which was in my opinion text book! It had this nice toast exterior with a slight crisp and the bread went from texture to nice custard texture. Needed syrup for sweetness but that's what I prefer and expect from my french toast. Well made! Love that there's no condiments on the table and they serve it! I honestly thought they were gonna grab the oside order from the buffet line which I am so glad they didn't! The service was amazing as our server was attentive and quick with everything! I'm definitely coming back! read more

Stayed at The Seabird for a few days and had breakfast at Piper each morning since it's included in the Hyatt Globalist breakfast benefit. We ordered the Cinnamon pull-apart bread to share once morning and did not anticipate what a huge portion it was! Would only recommend getting this if you're with a table of 4+. The hubs, his mini-me, and I could only eat a third of this, so had to take the rest to-go, and still could not finish it since it's very sweet. I also ordered the Avocado Toast to with House Cured Smoked Salmon. The salmon portion was very generous as well, so the hubs had some of it too. Hubs had the first class mimosa (pomegranate, rosemary, and sparkling wine) and the Summer Farmer omelette and enjoyed both. His mini-me had lots of fruit and greek yogurt, which she loved. Would highly recommend ordering off the a la carte menu even if the weekend brunch buffet is offered, since I do find that the former's offerings are fresh and generously portioned. Be sure to reservations in advance since they do get pretty busy on weekends, and plenty of folks staying at the Mission Pacific come over here for breakfast as well. Do note that the restaurant is on the ground floor and adjacent to the check-in front desk, so it isn't facing the beach or anything. We don't really care for a view during breakfast, but some people do care lol. Overall lovely service with fresh and organic offerings! read more

We went here for Christmas breakfast, and it definitely did not disappoint. Even though the restaurant was pretty busy and we didn't have a reservation, the wait staff was able to accomodate us. There is both indoor seating, bar seating, and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating wasn't too bad seeing as they had heaters outside. It's also a great people watching view at the corner of Myers Street and Mission Avenue. The waiter was very nice and always checked in on us to see if we needed water refills or sauces. Food was okay. The Lobster Omelet had more lobster than I originally assumed. The steak was a bit fattier than I liked. Eggs were perfectly made over easy. The potatoes was cooked to perfection. My favorite was the mushroom gravy. It really made the steak more tolerable. This was our first time here and will probably be our last unless we're at the hotel again. read more

The restaurant surprise me in a really good way. I usually don't eat at a hotel restaurant since there are overrated, but this one produce good quality food. The bread was served warm and it was soft and buttery. For the steak, it is so well cooked and great portion that I really enjoy it. The sauce is super delicious, and the crispy potato is cooked to perfection. I'll definitely recommend to people who are coming to Oceanside or staying at Seabird! The service is ok, nothing good or bad to mention, don't expect anything extraordinary. The restaurant is spacious and great for either date night or family outing. read more

We always try to do at least one fancy meal whenever we visit my family down south since we don't usually get to see each other very often. This time we decided on this place as it had good reviews and my sister also had been wanting to try it! I made a reservation in advance since we're a large party, and generally you can easily assume the seating would be inside (unless they offer outdoor seating specifically and/or if you request). However, when we arrived, they somehow had wanted to seat us outside without even asking. We're NOT outdoor dining people, so we immediately requested to be placed inside since I saw one LAST table space that could accommodate our large party. They didn't seem receptive to the request initially and made us wait (and even tried to convince us again to sit outside). We refused so they eventually did end up setting it up for us. We ordered a variety of items to share family style and got a couple of kids meal items for our 2 kids. I was very sad to find out that they do not offer complimentary house bread, so we had to order bread separately for an added cost. The service was spotty at best since our server was responsible for quite a few number of tables (about half the restaurant). It was difficult to flag him down throughout the service, but we tried to make do. He also made a few blunders during the meal so he ended up sending a couple of desserts on the house at the end to make up for it. I know that hotel restaurants generally don't have good reputations and really wanted this place to be an exception. Unfortunately, it just didn't hit the mark. read more

Came for brunch on Sunday and opted for a la carte instead of the brunch buffet since we couldn't justify the $52/person price tag. Piper's a la carte menu is really small (5 items in total), and you can tell by the pricing that they try to steer you towards the buffet (ex: $24 avocado toast is one of the 5 items). We got the 2 eggs plate, which came with some house potatoes and choice of meat, for which we selected sausage. The sausage was really dense, salty, and small. Service was friendly for the most part. Location is great with water views, so if you're interested in a vibe-y brunch, Piper could be a good choice. read more

Really friendly clean buffet and breakfast location inside the seabird hotel. We got items off the limited à la cart menu as well as the buffet. The buffet has a lot of options but I am not sure I would say everything was executed at the best level. The açaí bowl was very much a huge hit and generously portioned . We also got one kids meal that was well received as well. I think I would just order à la cart next time, it wasn't really worth the price in my opinion but servers were kind and relatively prompt in clearing used plates read more

I'm so sad, since this place has so much potential! It mainly missed the ball in 2 ways: 1) The staff are so friendly, but service overall is slow and food is not even close to being worth what they charged. 2) They're connected to 2 WORLD CLASS resorts that provide an extraordinary experience. For this place to fall below expectations in such an epic way was extremely disappointing. The excellence of the people skills of the staff brought this review from a 1 star to 2. The biggest issue? We bought a $100 20oz ribeye. Coming from Vegas, that's a justified price for a delicious steak. That's why we ordered it. What we got was a steak that tasted like it was cooked the day before and then microwaved before serving to us. Even after the remake. I would rather take a $14 steak from Costco that my wife cooks herself. Also what was mind blowing was how slooooooow the service was. I understand if food takes a while to come out, but a wine and cocktail took 30 minutes. We stayed at Mission Pacific Beach Resort (which was amazing) and Chase gave us food credit, so we decided to use the credit on Piper... big miss-steak. We will definitely be back to the resort, but will be avoiding Piper! read more

we went for Easter brunch the hotel was amazing and service very good but the food was such a disappointment after spending what I consider a hefty price. there was no seafood bar like it showed with oysters and shrimp the salmon was undercooked and super fishy. The eggs benedict were hard boiled eggs totally ruined the dish. The dessert bar was very limited and disappointing as well . The best thing was the waffle bar but hardly worth what we paid overall. There was no butter at the waffle bar which was weird and they acted like it was a hassle to get some for my waffle. I'd skip the buffet and just eat at the restaurant or get an amazing room with a beautiful view and bring your own food! read more

Piper serves farm to table coastal California cuisine using the freshest ingredients. We started with a chickpea sphere filled with avocado mousse for our amuse-bouche. It tasted like an ode to chips and guacamole. We shared the pappardelle, lobster Nero pasta, 20oz ribeye and cedar planked branzino. The pastas were good but not better than most Italian restaurants in San Diego. The ribeye was tender and came with a delicate sauce that was not overpowering. The star of the show was the branzino perfectly cooked with a crispy skin paired with green tomatoes, it's a dish worth coming back for. Service was top notch. Food came out on the slower side. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner at Piper. read more

This was our first time dining at Piper's, and likely our last. To start on a positive note, the dining room, bar, and wait staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. Truly a ray of sunshine. Unfortunately, great service in attitude only goes so far when the overall experience falls short. After being seated, we waited about 15 minutes just to place a drink order, another 15 minutes to receive menus, and then about 5 more minutes before our order was taken. From there, it was at least a 40-minute wait for food. When it finally arrived, all three burgers were overcooked, dry, and frankly inedible. Another guest ordered a salad, which did not appear or taste fresh. Our iced teas sat empty for long stretches, and we were rarely checked on. Perhaps patio seating gets less attention than indoor dining, but either way, it impacted the experience. What was especially confusing is that the restaurant was not busy... only a handful of tables were occupied, yet service was extremely slow despite what appeared to be ample staff. Overall: 5 stars for the friendliness of the staff, but 2 stars for the food and 2 stars for the excessive wait times. It's a beautiful place, but unfortunately, not one we'll be returning to. read more
